Sony Electronics launches a new retinal projection camera for the visually impaired.

The camera and projector bundle will be available in limited quantities in the US, starting this summer.

Sony Electronics unveils the DSC-HX99RNV kit, a new camera kit designed to assist individuals with visual impairments to practice photography without needing to wear prescribed spectacles or lenses. The kit includes Sony's DSC-HX99 compact camera and QD Laser's Retissa Neoviewei, a viewfinder with laser retinal projection technology.
Sony is collaborating with QD Laser, a Japanese company, to launch the HX99 RNV Retina Projection Camera kit, a small camera equipped with an additional retinal laser housing. The laser projection system is intended to project a focused live-view image of the camera into the user's eye, bypassing the need for the eye to focus. This feature can greatly benefit individuals with visual impairments such as shortsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, enabling them to view a clear image. Additionally, the laser projection is designed to consume low power.

The newly introduced laser technology is integrated into the Sony DSC-HX99 compact camera, originally released in 2018, and is considered an average model with an 18-megapixel sensor and a 24-720mm zoom lens. QD Laser's Retissa Neoviewer projector complements this camera setup.
